Use on University Owned Computers
The Microsoft Campus Agreement 3.5 (MSCA) is an annual licensing program that allows faculty and staff to install supported software products on all University owned computers.
The department head is responsible, within his or her unit, for compliance with software license terms. Each department is also responsible for keeping track of the number of copies installed of each supported software product on each computer. Upon request from Information Technology, these records must be made available for summarizing University utilization of the Campus Agreement. Also, if ISU decided not to renew the Campus Agreement, the department would need these records. For more information, visit the MSCA Frequently Asked Questions and see the question, "What if ISU decides not to renew the Microsoft Campus Agreement".
Departments can download a single copy of the supported software and install it on multiple computers within the department.
The department heads or their representatives can also choose to order software by doing the following:
- Contact Cheryl Cochran at the SCC (Student Computing Complex), at extension 2691. She will provide ordering, billing, and pickup instructions. Billing for software will be done using an intramural voucher.
- When your order
is ready, you will be contacted. You can pickup the software
at the Help Desk in the SCC (Student
Computing Complex) room 127.
IMPORTANT: Your ISU ID will be required to pickup software.
Departments may not loan CDs to individuals for use on personally owned computers. Faculty and staff must download a separate copy of the software for use on personally owned computers. For more details, see the MSCA Frequently Asked Questions web page.
If you have questions, please refer to the MSCA Frequently Asked Questions web page, or send an email to ISU-MSCA@indstate.edu
